Today, May 8th marks as the Parents’ Day in Korean culture.
Few days ago, they celebrated Children’s Day on the 5th May which was one of the public holidays in South Korea. It is a definitely a week of holidays that can bond the relationship between parents and children in the family!
For any Korean language learners, let’s see what are some Korean words that we can learn related to the Parent’s Day!
Parent’s day is not the public holiday in Korea but during this day, the kids will give Carnation flower to the parents as symbol of love.
Carnation (카네이션) | Ka-ne-i-syeon
Before this day, students at school will make red paper carnations in art classes. They also write letters to give it along with the DIY carnation flowers.
Letter (편지) | pyeon-ji
Some adults might give their parents special Parents’ Day gifts such as shirts, vouchers or a dinner with their family to express gratitude.
Parents’ Day Gift (어버이날 선물) | Eo-beo-i-nal seon-mul
Let’s look more words that you can learn during this special day;
가족 (Ka-jok) – Family
효자 (Hyo-ja) – Devoted Son
효녀 (Hyo-nyeo) – Devoted Daughter
부모님 (bu-mo-nim) – Parents
아이 (ai) – Child
It’s common for us to spend lesser time with our parents as we’re getting older. Despite of the pandemic, some of us even cannot go back hometown to visit their parent.
During this special day, I hope you can send a love message to your parents, either ‘I Love You’ or ‘Thank you for being my parents’ !
I’m pretty sure they will be happy for the small efforts. It is not a big gift from us but for sure its a big ‘gift’ to them as their parents to hear those words from their sons and daughters.
Happy Parents Day to all parents in the world.
